Quoting n4csitwo@bellsouth.net:
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Sekolah Kebangsaan Jalan Pasar 1, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 06 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 18:24 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between OR4ISS and 9M2RPN. The contact should be audible over Malaysia and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Total of students: 746 students
Total of teachers: 43 teachers
There is no amateur station in the school. The school is invited by National Space Agency Satellite Ground Station with a call sign of 9M2RPN in conjunction with "National Space Challenge Prime Minister's Trophy 2016" as in past years.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
Is orbit speed always 17,300 mph?
What is the escape velocity to reach ISS?
When you have achieved orbit what is the first thing that you do?
What is microgravity ?
Can you weigh yourself in weightlessness?
How does one get treated in case of sudden sickness in space?
Does a shuttle orbit continually trace the same path across the earth?
Can shuttle change its orbit?
Do you sweat in space?
Can you grow seeds in space?
Can you see other satellites from the ISS?
What time zone do you observe in space?
How many sun rises and sunsets do you see in space?
How often you get to speak to your families in space?
How is garbage disposed in space?
How do astronauts train for launch, orbit and reentry?
How would a candle burn in space?
Can you blow your nose in space?
Do your ears pop when you launch?

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,
